reporter conor powell has details from from kabul. >> reporter: helicopter crashes are fairly common in afghanistan, most due to mechanical failure and sometimes weather. in the past, taliban hit and brought down u.s. and international helicopters. in this case, the military says there are no reports of enemy fire in the area when the helicopter went down. they're discounting taliban claims they shot down the helicopter. the helicopter went down in an area that was a violent and nasty part of afghanistan where the taliban do roam free and are very, very strong. in addition to the nine u.s. troops killed, three other people including a u.s. civilian were also injured. today's deaths bring the total number of foreign troops killed to 529, a single-year record. the grim milestone was reached in less than ten months, though. with nearly 150,000 international troops, the u.s. commanders knew it would be a violent and deadly year. that number is likely set to increase with the u.s. and afghan forces set to launch a large operation in kandahar, over the next few weeks. bret? >> bret: in was
